Hi,

For years I have been work with CS 5.5 - my laptop died and I tried to install but the verification servers won't let me re-install so I bought a Creative Cloud liscence. Now I can't open my old CS 5.5 InDesign Files. Is there a plugin that will allow me open them and save them as CC 2022 files?

What happens when you try to open the old files? Do you get an error message?

A newer version can open older files.

Are the files locally available?

Do you get any massage?
